Oak Street Beach is a popular place for Chicago residents to work on their tan. However, if your day is spent inside the office, you are nervous about harmful UV rays, or just have time constraints, getting the perfect tan may be more difficult than you thought. A spray tan might be the best option for you. Here are some of the best places to get a golden glow in Chicago.

Get that golden glow for your wedding at Soleil Chicago. This gorgeous West Loop location has some of the best experts helping their well-deserving clientele. Not only do they have a wide array of tanning equipment, Soleil has the Mist On spray tan machine, which leaves customers with an even tan they will be proud to show off. Next time you meet someone with a wonderful tan, don’t be suprised if they are a Soleil customer.

Some of the most stylish Chicagoans stop by the Bella Bronze on Michigan Ave. This beautiful South Loop destination has everything a client could ask for, including spa services such as facials and waxing. They use both the Mystic and Couture spray tanning systems to give their customers a healthy glow. With the one-stop shopping customers find at Bella Bronze, clients can relax here before they rush off to their dinner on Rush Street.

One thing that can help your new hairdo, manicure and pedicure pop while on vacation is a great tan. If you’re looking for the golden look but prefer not to fry in a tanning bed, a spray tan may be for you. The experts at Glow Tan Studio can guide you to their Mystic Tan booth or their airbrush tan, which range in price from $25 – $4. Get a head start on the tan you want before you set sail on your cruise.

Afraid of looking orange and streaky with a spray-on tan? Licensed estheticians at Ortanic Chicago are excellent at helping their clients get the perfect look. This salon has some of the most healthy and natural ways of getting their clients tanned, and expert help is readily available. Ortanic creates a custom spray recipe with the active ingredient DHA (a non-toxic, sugar based skin agent) for each client to ensure a natural look. With Ortanic, you’ll look great in your vacation photos.

One of the popular places to get a spray on tan in Chicago is at Ultimate Exposure Tanning Center. Friendly staff are willing to work with new clients in getting the looks that they desire.
